For the ones who are following me since the beginning you should know that textile art<\/strong> as always been an art that I I wholeheartedly support. Textile<\/span>\u00a0art allows artists to explore their creativity and showcase unique ideas through the medium of fabric and threa<\/strong>d. It has deep roots in various cultures and traditions<\/strong> around the world. By incorporating traditional techniques and motifs into contemporary designs<\/strong>, textile artists can honor their heritage while adding a modern twist<\/strong>, creating a sense of cultural appreciation and connection.<\/div>\n

Overall, the trend of textile art can be attributed to its ability to evoke emotions, connect with traditions, promote sustainability, and offer a unique and tactile experience that captivates a wide audience.<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
Subtile Gallery is very pleased to present the textile works from Katarina Spacal created over a span of more than two decades<\/strong>. They all seem to take their inspiration from the area<\/strong> where she was born \u2014 the Karst region<\/strong> \u2014 with its dry, limestone land whipped by the wind that blows out to the Adriatic Sea. Her formative years were spent either here or in the capital, Ljubljana, where her late father Jo\u017ee Spacal \u2014 a prominent mosaic artist and scenographer \u2014 was her first art teacher. In Ljubljana she later studied textile and clothing design<\/strong> and, towards the end of her studies, began to explore the art of weaving.<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n
While most tapestries made on a loom would generally be flat and often merely decorative, Katarina\u2019s, in contrast, are composed of several woven pieces<\/strong> which are then folded, gathered and sewn together, thereby creating soft, irregular shapes. And while some art critics may have described her work as \u2018woven paintings\u2019<\/strong>, in reality they are much more three-dimensional and sculptural<\/strong> than that would suggest, with surfaces rich with gentle folds, swirls and knots.<\/span><\/div>\n
